It was named after Sauvignon Blanc because of its distinctive white wine aroma. It brings a bright, almost vinous quality with passionfruit and grapefruit notes that stands out from most other hops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlpha Acids:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 – 14%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTotal Oil:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.0 – 1.5 mL\/100g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e New Zealand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pellet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Substitutions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Motueka or Hallertau Blanc (in some recipes)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/hopsteiner.us\/variety-data-sheets\/Nelson-Sauvin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eMore tech specs here\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePractical Use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat does catty mean? S\u003c\/em\u003eome people get a bright but slightly funky, green, or cat pee edge alongside the white wine and tropical fruit. It’s not always super strong, but can be perceived as intense for some drinkers. Thank a sulfur compound called 4-MMP (4-mercapto-4-methyl-2-pentanone). Regardless, this hop is cherished!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eNelson Sauvin works for both bittering and aroma, but it really shines in late boil, whirlpool, and dry hopping. It adds a bright, wine-like tropical character that can make a beer feel more complex. Because it’s pretty distinctive, many brewers use it as a supporting hop rather than the main one - it pairs especially well with fruitier hops like Citra or Galaxy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eOn the dry hop side, 1.5–3.5 oz total in 5 gallons is usually enough. It’s potent, so going too heavy can make the beer feel sharp or one-dimensional. It tends to work best when it has other hops to play with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eBest for: Late boil, whirlpool, and dry hopping. Brew day tip: Use it alongside Citra, Mosaic, or Galaxy if you want to add a bright, slightly winey edge to a juicy IPA.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Double Dank Brewing Supply","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42574341177429,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/0089\/1733\/files\/nelson-sauvin-pale-ale-vineyard.jpg?v=1780697193","url":"https:\/\/doubledank.beer\/products\/nelson-sauvin-hops","provider":"Double Dank Brewing Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
